NEGRO SOLDIERS MISTREATED

On my part the points of view of
all concerned will be mutually un
derstood and respected.’
If this means that the prime min
ister is heeding the pleas of the
southern contingent reported to be
in the majority in the British Isles,
then he will give India and th"
darker races another puzzler in
their demands to know why they
are fighting.
It is reported that several out
bursts have occurred in the British
Isles never reported fully to the A
merican public. Such racial out
bursts are not helpful to the cause
of democracy and when they reach
a point that they have to be discuss
ed on the floor of the house of
commons, it is highly reminiscent of
the Bourbon southern members of
our own legislative body who know
no better than to halt important
legislation with racial bickerings.
Nothing short of an official ex
planation will satisfy the American J
Negroes who are being called upon |
to serve without question and with
out promise of redress. Too many
“incidents” are also occurring rignt
here in America to permit this par
ticular thing to go unchallenged
and unnoticed.
Southern whites are taking their
creed of hatred into the armed fore- i
es and instead of fighting against I
the foes of civilization, are helping i
the cause of the axis powers b -
their own benighted ideals, an offic
•tl o fthe war department says. !

to inculcate other peoples with them I
t is believed that the rank and file j

girls.
“During a trip East in Washing
ton, D. C. she met Dan Gary, who
was making some engagements for
the band. She was much older tha"
Dan and in Ordinary language got
‘stuck on him’. He is alleged to
have been a petty racketeer with a
cunning mind which enabled him to
live off his wits. I heard this after
he had helped cause this trouble.
“This guy, Dan Gary, saw the Pos
sibility of exploiting an all girl band
in the commercial world and start
ing conspiring with Rae Lee to iyik
control of the band. In the fall ol
1941, his services in making date
for the band were discontinued and
the band returned South- Th
school then started making engage
merits because it knew the southern
territory.
“During the fall and winter, t'-’.e
band, in charge of Rae Lee, was
filling some engagements in Geor
gia, Florida and Alabama, when Da >
Gary made several trips south and
visited with Rae Lee and the orch
estra telling them if they would
come out of the south to Washing
ton, D. C., he would put them in the
union, use them a great deal" in
New York and the East and this
would bring them fame and fortune.
In brief, they could have “all this
and Heaven, too.”
“In about March or April, 194:},
the school sensed something wa
smelly and gave Rae Lee a longer
vacation than it gave the girls of
the orchestra, using another chap
erone for the balance of the time un
til the girls were to go out on their
vacation.”
Dishman said he met the girls in
Pensacola, Florida .together w;tn
the mother of one of the girls in
the band who was to be the chapet
one. He informed Rae Lee Jones
that she was released of her job so
she could have an even longer vac
ation than she thought.
“Late that night” Dishman sai l,
‘through pretense of wanting to get
into the back of the bus for some
thing. she secured the keys from
the driver took off the ignition key
and sent them back to the driver
who put the keys under his pillow
and went to sleep.
About 3 a. m., while everybody
was asleep, including the girls of
the band, Rae Lee swiped the bus
with the girls, instruments, music,
and what not and proceeded north”.
Dishman said he and the regular
bus driver were asleep in another
part of the territory and didn’t
know what had happened.
“Rae Lee took the band to Pen
sacola, Fla., where they were locat
ed at the time, leaving a couple of
weeks of unfinished engagements.
They drove that night to Hunts
ville, Ala., where Rae Lee met Dan
fJary, who was already in the South
and had been conniving with her a
day or t'vo before. They did not go
any farther in the school bus. but ,
transferred the girls, instruments
and music to a commercial bus and
fled on to Jackson, Tgnn., on their
i way to Washington.’
Dishman said a recent schedule
of the itineary, published in a col
ored newspaper, enabled him to
know where the orchestra would te
and therefore had the leader, Rac
Lee. arrested here in Jackson at
the Armory.
Lodged in the Madison County
jail at this time, Rae Lee’s rhythm
j in sharps is in the jail flats and
I the measures of her bars are the
, length of the jailhars. her notes are
small quarters and her rests will be
longer than usual.

MUST INCREASE
NEGRO WOMEN
WORKERS Says McNutt
Over 5.001).000 women, including
an increased number of Nigro work
ers, must be added to the total now
employed by the end of 1943, Chair
man Paul V. McNutt of the War
Manpower Commission told the
Commission’s new Women’s Advis
ory- Committe at its first- meeting
h?re Thursday, October 1, 1942.
Four-fifths of all war jobs can be
performed by women, Mr. McNutt
pointed out. but a long tradition has
limited their emPloy-ment. Employ
ment of women is an immediate npc
ersity in some war production cen
ters, he added, because overburden
ed housing and transportation facil
ities will not premit further'' immi
gration of outside workers.
The country’s womanpower prob
lem, Mr. McNutt said, goes far be
yond signing women up for jobs,
tt includes training, plant living
irrangements which take account of
the presence of women, and revis
ion of industrial processes to in
crease the number of jobs women,
can perform.
The Women’s Advisory Commit
tee was appointed early last month
I by- Chairman McNutt to consider
I important questions concerning the
•War Manpower Commission prog
ram for effective use of women in
the war effort. Its membership ;n
cludes twelve prominent women.

‘MARCH OX WASHINGTON”
MOVEMENT GROWS
LEADERS MEAN BUSINESS
HARLEM OFFICE WORKING
FULL TIME—
(by Peter Dana)
New York (Calvin's News Service)
..Harlem offices of the “March
on Washington” movement, on the
ground floor of the Hotel Theresa
building, 7th avenue at 125th st-,
are busy full time these days, as
the idea of protest in the name of
democratic unity and full mob liga
tion of American manpower, sym
bolized by the movement, reaches
throughout the country. A Philip
Randolph and his associates, who
have been speaking in a score of
metropolitan areas throughout the
country in recent weeks, are now a
force for democratization of Amer
ica’s war effort which, whatever,
the embarrassments of the Adminis
tration at Washington, must, it is
generally believed, count for the
total national good.
If there should be any question of
the sincerity of the ““March on
Washington” movement as a result
of the calling off of the projected
march in the summer of 1941, after
certain concessions from Washing
ton, most notable of which was the
establishment of the President’s
Fair Employment Practice Commit
tee, it would appear that there is
not sufficient acquaintance with
the continuing work of the move
ment’s staff and the increasing en
thusiasm with which the idea guid
ing the movement is meeting among
colored citizens throughout the na
tion.
About one thing there can be no
doubt: the energetic and efficient
staff of the movement, mostly vol
unteer workers, entertain no doubt
as to the value and timeliness of

their leader, A. Philip Randolph
which apparently is spreading tc
more and more people, is unques
tioned and should appear to extend
the vigor with which they carry for
ward the work of the organization.
THE TIME IS NOW!
Typical of the feeling of the Peo
ple carrying on the organization's
work is the comment nf Tbeophilus
Lewis, recently put in charge of
the movement’s publicity. Mr.
Lewis says: “The March on Wash
ington id?a must be understood, if
at all, in terms of the need to mob
ilize our total cjtizen power. The
March is no mere pressure group,
motivated by selfish impulses, try
ing to win an advantage over other
citizens. While the movement is
attempting to bring pressure to
bear on our responsible government,
authorities... .and this is a notable
and approved democratic practice
the pressure is completely democrat
ic and patriotic. It is said on every
hand that America needs her full
resources and strength to win this
war. We of the March on Wash
ington movement take this as the
literal truth; and we belileve that
the time is now to do what we can
to see that no prejudice or previous
shortcoming in our national life is
allowed to hinder an all-out effort
for victory”.
Continuing ,Mr. Lewis asserted
that he did not for one instant agree
with those colored Americans who
say this is no time t« be kicking up
a fuss about the situation here at
home, when we are fighting a war.
On the contrary, he said: "So far
from this kind of talk being patriot
ic or sound, it is of a piece with the
complacency of our pre-Pearl Har
